The number of free GB going up and down?

On my Macbook pro 13", the number of GBs left that are free continuously goes up and down. For example: yesterday, my computer said I had 86.40 GB free, but now it's at 78.67 GB free. Does this mean something has happened to my computer, or is it normal? Thank you...
